Abstract excerpt
Understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms of trait diversity is crucial for crop improvement to achieve drought adaptation. Root traits such as high biomass and/or deep rootedness are undoubtedly important drought adaptive traits. The major aim of this investigation was to functionally characterize a set of ethyl methane sulfonate-induced rice mutants for root traits. We report the identification...
